watsonbeau Posted November 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Anyone there now or who has been there - just wanting to get an idea of what Cunard offer as excursions in Auckland and Wellington? Any particular recommendations would be useful. Also Sydney - we have overnight there so one full day before disembarking but was thinking of just doing our own thing - harbour and Opera house etc. Thank you.

Cruise NH Posted November 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2022 In Auckland we did a tour of the city with a drop off across the harbor in Davenport. We enjoyed it. A lot of folks went to a sheep dog demonstration and really enjoyed that. In Wellington we took a walking tour with walkwellington.org.nz. The guide was a volunteer I think and we had him all to ourselves because no one else had signed up through their website. We liked it a lot. We met at the train station which is a short walk from the pier, that of course could be different now. The first time we were in Sydney we did a private tour and that was great, I can't remember the company name now. The next time we visited we took a ferry (on our own) to Watson Bay and then used a walking trail to get to Bondi Beach. From Bondi we took the bus back to Circular Quay. Only do this if you can do a long walk. It was great. The ferry and public transportation in Sydney is fabulous, you can get an Opal card that works on all modes of transport. One thing I would recommend (if you haven't already) get a credit card that you can touch and go or learn to use Apple or Google Pay. I won't go so far as saying they operate a cashless economy there but believe me, having the right card or knowing how to use the app will help a lot where ever you go.
